Drinks break! Craig Young and Graham Hume have started to frustrate South Africa. They have just one wicket in hand and need 200 more runs to win, which seems to be highly unlikely. South Africa are just one wicket away from sealing the series. They will hope to end this game as soon as possible.
0
Right then, that's it from the coverage of this game. South Africa have taken an unassailable lead in this series. These two teams will meet again for the third and final ODI of this series on 7th October. The first ball will be at 11.30 am GMT, but as you all know you can join us early for the build-up. Until then, take care and goodbye.
